How the hell does he make his guitar sound like that? How can one guy make an acoustic guitar sound scarier than anything Marilyn Manson has ever done with millions of dollars worth of equipment?

[CJ Marsicano]

Actually, it's a hollowbody electric. Otherwise, excellent question.

It only took me a second to realize you're a troll.

[11emorton]

Can someone tell me the chords for this song?

[Robert Boylan]

Kurt Cobain shot himself in the face 20 years ago. Who cares what he thinks is pretentious?

[BookerTish]

That is about the worst thing I have ever heard. I mean it's horrible. Out-of-tune garbage. His fans must be tone-deaf. Complete shit.

[Green Manelishi]

Suburbia white boy? LOL. Nor do I like (c)rap/hip hop. Oh, and I've been to college. Thanks for caring.

[Kofosz Ahbez]

Jandek, the concept is more interesting than the music!

[Kofosz Ahbez]

well spoken!

[Carlos Ferrão]

A mix of being out of tune (or having an alternative tuning if you will) and what sounds like a ring modulator.

[Ray Tat]

It's a very psychological experience. It's one of those experiences where nothing falls apart because it never falls together. it's a sustained tension. The vocal quality is haunting and sublime.

I'm not trying to be a "hater" here, but can any Jandek fans explain to me in what way they find his music enjoyable, honestly i can't hear anything good in his music, it's all out of tune and he's just hitting random strings, anyone could do that

[Max Kupps]

Jandek's guitar, although popularly believed to be in an eternal state of being out of tune, actually tends to be in obscure open tunings that Jandek himself came up with.

[Jeemoda]

Jandek's far from pretentious. You're the one saying that the only people who claim to enjoy his music are ONLY "pretentious gits."
